I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.
Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.
Can’t wait for a spicy pepper community to pop up! Spice is life
I hope it happens sooner than later! I’ve got a few Khang starr varieties that are about to start ripening.
Those look excellent. Wish it was possible to email food.
You guys act like you have asbestos assholes… Those are vegetables weapons, not food! :P
Capsicum chinense generally have the best flavor. They are also brutally hot so you’re not wrong.
Tbh, I like the flavor of some hot peppers, they’re really tasty. But those incredible hot ones are really nasty. I don’t judge, if people like to eat them, good for them. Though I have no idea how you tolerate them. It’d kill my gut microbiome and leave my colon asking for help…
I don’t eat super hots raw. But I do like making hot sauce with them, where a little goes a long way.
Ooooohhh! That’s cool! Yeah, you don’t need to use a ton of hot sauce, necessarily. Nice! :)
Any ideas on what to name this? I was thinking blue brain ghost.
Cerebral Specter!
I just want to say how impressive it is that you did all of that. I can’t even keep Trader Joe’s Basil plants alive for more than a few days.
Gotta taste it first to really know.
